Hi Everyone, I stopped at Massapequa Preserve before work this morning and although it was very "birdy" I didn't see any new migrants. Cardinals, Robins, Red Winged Blackbirds, Grackles were all over as well as Downy Woodpeckers - a Carolina Wren put on a show singing for the sunrise and a pair of Red Bellied Woodpeckers put on their own kind of show. There's a nesting pair of Mute Swans on the smaller pond.
***I only saw the red morph Screech Owl for the last few weeks - can someone please message me if they see the grey one? A few local birders and myself are concerned if something happened to it. (not assuming the worst yet) During my break, I walked over to Bryant Park with my friend and local NYC birder Mike (has a thing for Juncos and Grackles) - we just saw Song and White Throated Sparrows - we talked to another birder who also noted it was slow, but mentioned he saw Hermit Thrush and a Swamp Sparrow earlier.
